One of the Oklahoma teens who allegedly gunned down an Australian student "because he was bored" tweeted "it's time to start taken life's" in the days before the murder.

James Edwards Jr., 15, tweeted the disturbing message three days before 23-year-old Christopher Lane was shot dead has he jogged down a Duncan., Okla. road.

"90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM." Edwards tweeted in April.

Edwards and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, have been charged with murder while Michael Dwayne Jones, 17, who was driving the car they were in, was charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

Police said the teens told them they were bored, so they decided to kill somebody.

Meanwhile, it's been revealed the teens were quickly nabbed because they allegedly threatened to murder a 17-year-old who wouldn’t join their offshoot of the Crips gang.

Christopher Johnson received the death threat via Facebook two hours after the teens gunned down Lane, Johnson’s father said.

“My son called me and said, ‘They’re saying they’re coming to kill me,’ so I called the police and they got here within about three minutes,” James Johnson told Australia’s Herald Sun newspaper.

Cops found Edwards Jr., Jones, and Luna in a car in Duncan’s Immanuel Baptist Church parking lot, near the Johnsons’ home, Friday afternoon.

Authorities said Jones confessed to helping his accomplices pick Lane at random victim, as he jogged in Duncan, and fatally shoot him because “we were bored and didn’t have anything to do.”

James Johnson said his son attends Duncan HS with Edwards and Luna.

“They threatened to kill my son because they are in a gang, the Crips, and were trying to get my son in it and I wouldn’t let him do it,” he said. “I told him he couldn’t run with these boys. He’s a little terrified.”

Yesterday public schools in the town of 24,000 were on heightened alert after police said they learned of anonymous threats.

Terrell Cox, 16, a student at Duncan High, said the suspects were a “stand-off group that didn’t seem to care that much.”

Lane's grieving girlfriend, Sarah Harper, wrote on Facebook that Lane's killers should "rot in Hell".

"No one deserves to die that way. Not even the boys involved," Harper wrote.

"Don't get me wrong, I want them to rot in Hell, but no one should be blindly taken from the back so unexpectedly and without any reason."

Harper told CNN she was still coming to terms with the senseless killing.

"There is no way to describe what happened," she said. "It's the hardest thing you could ever imagine happening. There is still a lot of shock and disbelief, and a lot of anger and sadness."

"You can't make sense of it," she said. "It's just -- so surreal that anybody could do something like this."

Harper said Lane was "the most genuine and kind-hearted guy and would do anything for anybody at any time."

Details of Lane’s final moments emerged from a 911 call.

“He just fell over in a ditch and there’s blood on him,” said a woman who drove by after the shooting. “He’s turning blue,” she added.

Prosecutor Jason Hicks said Edwards took his arrest so casually that he was videotaped by police “doing a little dance” when he was booked for murder.

Luna and Edwards face life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder charges.

I knew a young man who ended up in the slammer for a couple of months. I asked him how it was, He told me "It wasn't too bad. We watched TV and played basketball. IT WASN'T TOO BAD! It should have been the worst experience in his life!

One of the Oklahoma teens accused of gunning down a jogger had allegedly tweeted an anti-white message and warned, “It’s time to start taken life’s.”

The vicious comments on 15-year-old James Edwards’ Twitter feed fueled speculation that the slaying of Christopher Lane, 22, was a hate crime and not a random attack by “bored” thugs.

Edwards, who is black, tweeted in April, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

Three days before Lane, who was white, was fatally shot last Friday while jogging, Edwards tweeted, “With my n---as when it’s time to start taken life’s.”

And one day before the murder, he wrote on Facebook, “I’ve never been this made in my life.”

In another post that day, he wrote cryptically, “Bang 2 drops in one day.”

Police in Duncan, Okla., are said to be scouring social-media for clues to the possible motives of Edwards, Chancey Luna, 16, and Michael Jones, 17, but so far have not publicly linked racial hatred to the death of Lane, an Australian student attending college in Oklahoma on a baseball scholarship.

They said Jones confessed, telling investigators they decided to kill someone and randomly picked their victim. “We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody,” Jones was quoted as saying.

Jones is white and drove the teens’ car.

Court documents show that when Jones was initially questioned by police, he said he couldn’t reveal who pulled the trigger of the .22-caliber revolver that killed Lane because “he would be killed,” the Duncan Banner newspaper reported.

Another Duncan resident, James Johnson, who is black, said he alerted police when the teens threatened to kill his son because the youth had refused to join their gang, an offshoot of the Crips.

Johnson called police, who quickly arrested the three teens in their black Ford Focus in the parking lot of a church near his home.

Johnson suggested one other explanation for the murder, claiming Lane’s death was an “initiation” rite for the gang. “I don’t think it was an initiation; I know it was an initiation,” he told Australian media. “My son told me that it was an initiation.”

Authorities in Duncan indicated their investigation is far from finished, noting they haven’t found the murder weapon, which Jones said was given to somebody by one of the teens.

Lane was a Melbourne native who came to the States to play baseball at East Central University in Ada. An online fund set up to help bring his body back to Australia topped $100,000 yesterday.

WASHINGTON, August 22, 2013 — Much of America has reacted in horror to the killing of Australian student Chris Lane in Oklahoma. Lane was killed by three teenagers — James Edwards, 15, Chancey Luna, 16, and Michael Jones, 17 — who claimed that they killed out of boredom.The father of another young man threatened by the killers claims that they killed as an initiation to a local offshoot of the Crips, a violent, predominantly black gang formed in Los Angeles over 40 years ago. The possibility that this was a hate crime looms large. Edwards tweeted in April, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”The left has ignored the racial and gang components of the killing to focus on the issue of gun control. In Australia, former politician Tim Fischer demanded Australians boycott America until America adopts strict gun control laws like Australia’s. He missed the point that Oklahoma has laws against juveniles possessing guns and against murder, and that did not stop these thugs.Fischer also missed the point that while law abiding citizens in Australia have been stripped of their rights to protect themselves, criminals are flooding the streets with guns that they can use against defenseless Australians.The problem here is not guns; it is a welfare state that has created feral children.

Nope....every race has good/bad people....but some of you choose to focus only on the brown skinned people. Why is that?

I like Mexicans.

I'll bet you don't know a thing about the Mexican people and have never even talked to one. Mexico is a multiethnic country with a genetic composition of 60.70% European, 34.31% Asian (Amerindian), and 4.99% African.

I did too. I was treated rather well because I was giving them business. I don't think I know the real Mexico though, I was taken to the best places and didn't get to see how the average Mexican lives.

I think about it now and think what a foolish thing to do. We hiked up into the hills about a mile from town. Could be lucky nothing happened to us. It was eye opening. We have no idea how lucky we have had it in this country. It's too bad so many take it for granted. I still don't understand why we didn't go to Mexico rather than China. We are making the biggest potential enemy in the world stronger while our neighbors to the south continue to struggle.
